The Road to Conquest
The Spanish Used the Qhapaq Ñan to Conquer Tawantinsuyu
Built to give the Inka access to every corner of the empire, the Qhapaq Ñan gave the Spanish the same access.
The Spanish established new cities and founded Lima as their colonial capital. Cusco was stripped of its power and remodeled with cathedrals, public halls, and houses built in the Spanish style. Many of its great buildings were destroyed. |
